Fox News medical contributor joins Mike Huckabee and Leo Terrell to discuss coronavirus hypocrisy on 'Hannity'
This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
Welcome back to this Hannah D
special interest when you
thought the hypocrisy on the
left on Covid and Thanksgiving
could get no worse. It did
after wanting citizens to avoid
trouble for the holiday Denver
mayor, Michael Hancock Flu,
im, pretty sure that means
traveled to Mississippi to visit
family.
He later gave a half hearted
apology for his decision
and in the LOS Angeles, the
Department of Public Health just
admitted there is no scientific
link between dining outdoors and
the recent Covid 19 spike,
so much for we will follow the
science thing
and now, after facing backlash,
Andrew Cuomo canceled his
Thanksgiving Day plans with
family, including his 89 year old
mother,
and remember the judge in
San Diego who allowed strip
clubs to temporarily reopen
despite a ban on indoor church
services.
Well, last week,
Governor MIKE Huckabee made a
humorous suggestion for
California churches to remain
open, despite covert
restrictions.
One pastor followed the
governors advice
watch this here. I would think
it is ridiculous to say that
people are safer in a strip club.
Then they are at church
but churches across California,
or going to announce that their
pastor would remove his tide
during the sermons, and he will
take out an article of clothing,
making a temporary stripper, so
people can go to church lets. Go
lets go
by the way Governor Huckabee
said he would bail me out if I
got arrested for that.
We went joining us now with more
former Arkansas governor and
Fox NEWS contributor of
MIKE Huckabee Fox NEWS,
contributor, Janette, Nesheiwat
and civil rights attorney LEO
Terrell.
Welcome to all of you,
doctor im going to start with
you and try to get that out of
my mind,
Thanksgiving families trying to
make the hard decisions on what
to do tomorrow,
give them some advice and then
tell us about the Good NEWS,
the light at the end of the
tunnel with the vaccines.
Yes, first of all, tomorrow is
a day of things. So lets give
thanks to all the good we have,
even though suffering
through the pandemic.
The good news is, we have a
vaccine that is weeks away,
but you want to protect yourself
until then.
What you want to do is stick
within your bubble: stick within
your household and try not to
travel per the CDC
recommendations
stay with your own, immediate
family.
If you are going to travel and
enter other households which you
shouldnt, according to the CDC,
wear a mask practice: social
distancing, ten feet away and open
a window.
Those are little things to help
protect yourself,
of course, get tested, because we
have a quarter of a million
deaths. So far in this country
we are having two thousand deaths a day
day. Eighty eight thousand Americans currently,
and so now the behavior now
Trey will impact the number of
cases we see two or three weeks
from now and the trajectory of
where we are going in the future
future
Governor Huckabee.
You are familiar with my beloved
home state of South Carolina,
sometimes, depending on what
church you go to, you could say
it was emotionally peaceful
protest.
You could get away with it by
doing that
and its states other than
South Carolina.
How do you address the hypocrisy
of sating? You can gamble go to
and since my mom is watching
dance clubs- and I will not use
another word- but how do you wage
through the hypocrisy to say you
cant go to church, but you can
do all that.
That is the problem trey.
You cannot wait through the
hypocrisy, but you have to laugh
at it and frankly ignore it and
challenge it.
One of the reasons that a lot of
Americans have had it up to here
is because they feel, like the
public officials who tell them
to be careful. They are not
being careful
who tell them. Dont go eat out,
but they go weed out,
while Gavin Newsom with seven hundred dollars
person, french laundry, restaurant,
didnt, wear a mask and the
Denver mayor.
You add all of this up and I
think sometimes people are
afraid. The public officials are
not trying to control the
disease as much as they are
trying to control them and the
people
we do need to be careful.
We need to socially distance
where the mask and do all of
those things for everyones, safe
and well being,
but the hypocrisy that is
unhealthy as covid,
and that is why a lot of people
are sating enough.
If you will not follow the
directions and advice, then
dont give it.
Mr Terrel, the
governor, says lots of people are
saying it is enough, but Gavin NE
set of rules for his kids. I can
eat out that you cant, and I
know California is different, but
even after a while they get
tired of the hypocrisy dont. You
think.
Let me say this without
hyperbole.
This is the first time Trey
come. I want to leave the state O
California,
why
the hypocrisy, insulting the
intelligence of every citizen in
California,
we have a county health director
who is not elected and makes
five hundred thousand dollars. Who is not even a
medical doctor
and she shouts down the
restaurants from outdoor dining.
As you said,
the Democrats always say we
follow science.
There is no science
one additional fact. There are
more people infected and
government buildings than
outdoor restaurants.
When I say to you hypocrisy, it
is too much for me im, hoping
maybe I can find a place either
in South Carolina or next door
to Governor Huckabee,
but it is just ridiculous out
here, because it is too much
democratic control
and it doesnt justify the
shutting down of this entire
estate,
Dr Nisha, what it
will assume that, despite the
hypocrisy, they were certain
things that we ought to do to
keep others. We care about safe,
despite the fact that elected
officials are not doing it
themselves, so, in other words,
dont, let all the hypocrisy
jeopardize health.
Am I right about that?
Absolutely
know your wrists and take
personal responsibility and
understand. For example, if you
are over the age of sixty five with
underlying medical conditions,
you are high risk of
complications,
so understand your risk and take
common sense precautions.
It is simple to wear a mask
that can prevent thousands of
cases and thousands of deaths
here at. Of course, we know and
have heard it before social
distance, 6 10 feet away to help,
protect ourselves, help protect
our loved ones and go a long
way.
We are at the home stretch, we
truly are trey.
We are literally weeks away from
a vaccine and by the end of this
year, thirty million doses and by
spring slash summer, the rest of
Americans will be able to have
their vaccine as well.
This year they will focus on
giving it to high risk people in
the nursing homes and those with
underlying medical problems,
and then, by March April,
everyone will be vaccinated.
We are almost there
stay positive, stay, healthy and
focused on protecting yourself
and others, and we will get
there.
Thank you for
reminding all of us.
We have a lot to be thankful for.
